What A Day That Was

Well, I'm dressed up so nice
And I'm doing my best
Well, I'm starting over
Starting over in another place

Let me tell you a story
A big chief with a golden crown
He's got rings on his fingers
And then he walks up, up to the throne

He's making shapes with his hands
And don't you dare sit down
Now don't you dare jump back
And don't you dare stick out

And on the first day, we had everything we could hold
Ooh, and then we let it fall
And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do
Ooh, what a day that was

Well, there are fifty thousand beggars
Roaming in the streets
They have lost all of their possessions
They have nothing left to eat

Down comes a bolt of lightning
Starting an electrical storm
Now comes the chain reaction
Go pull a fire alarm

I'm dreaming of a city
It was my own invention
And I put the wheels in motion
A time for big decisions

And on the first day, there was nothing else left inside
Ooh, what were they looking for
And on the second day, I had everything I could stand
Ooh, what a day that was

Ooh, a day that was
Ooh, that's the way it goes
There's a million ways to get things done
There's a million ways to make things work out

Well, I'm going right trough
And the light came down
Well, they're rounding 'em up
From all over town

They're moving forward and back
They're moving backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves
Moving in every direction

And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
Feel like going home
Feel like talking to someone
Who knows the difference between right and wrong

And on the first day, I had everything well in hand
Ooh, who could have asked for more
And on the second day, there was nothing left we could hold
Ooh, what a day that was

Boom, boom, boom, and that's the way we live
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
Well, a boom, boom, boom, and that's the way we live
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live

We're going boom, boom, boom, that's the way we live
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
And going boom, boom, boom, that's the way we live
And in a great big room, and that's the way we live
